Tlaxiaco is a city, and its surrounding municipality of the same name, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It is located in the Tlaxiaco District in the south of the Mixteca Region, with a population of about 17,450.
The city is formally known as Heroica Ciudad de Tlaxiaco ("heroic city of Tlaxiaco") in honour of a battle waged there during the 1862–67 French invasion. Tlaxiaco [t͡ɬa.ˈʃia.ko] is a Nahuatl name containing the elements tlachtli[t͡ɬˈat͡ʃt͡ɬi] (ball game), quiahuitl[kiˈawit͡ɬ] (rain), and -co[ko] (place marker). It thus approximates to "Place where it rains on the ball court". Its name in the Mixtec language is Ndijiinu, which means "good view".[1]
On January 1, 2019, Tlaxiaco found itself in the international news, when newly elected mayor, Alejandro Aparicio (MORENA), was assassinated in the street shortly after taking his oath of office.[2]
